Just Thinkin..
Yersterday I had abusy afternoon at K.I.C.C as I and Amollo Odinga Launched our vision for the country come next year! LOL!
Honestly my whole day was spent loungin in da house with my T.V as I followed da KQ crash news(I still hope there are survivors n my prayers are with their families) Only left in da evenin 2 catch that Arsenal-Chelsea Match n was happy with the results coz they were no losers 2 pity! :=) but I guess Chelsea still Lost! Poleni..

Back 2 Raila, I cant deny I have never been his fan, I have been & most of us are, but am not one of those jamaa's who cry when he takes long 2 adress them on apublic rally or those who still go crazy about his Hummer!!

Well yersterday I was glued on T.V and I loved the whole show..His launch put 2 shame other ODM-K's presidential launches done(In my Opinion), It was colourful & his Vision for the country was encouraging..Just what Kenya needs at the Moment..
It wont be easy implementing that or trustin that he would actually Keep this promises..but why not give the guy achance..Most of us fear change but it's time we embraced it n voted in younger,Vibrant leaders with such visions for the country.
Raila even his critics will agree has the potential to lead the country, most of us Love him as an activitist n want him 2 stay dat way 2 keep the gorvnment on it's feet but that is being selfish..
He too deserves achance 2 rule.
.As a country Kenya has the potential to be an economic giant and given the right leadership I still believe that can happen.
So Go Raila..Go!!

Well movin on 2 more personal issues, Lately I have been so depressed..Well I have been in some Long Distance thing for some time now, n it has been well until recently..Well we have trust issues, I do trust him I have no reason to be otherwise but the problem is seems not to, n it's frustrating..Without trust there's no rtship.
I understand where he is comin from since am avery outgoin person n tend 2 go out alot(Espec when I feel Lonely), but am also a one man gal n Would never allow a night of pleasure compromise what we have!
Anyway am confused about the whole thing coz it's wearing..Anyway what do u guys think..Do LD's Work?? Or is it just crap? And how do I make this work?

    Raila wacha tu! Onto long distance it is my belief that they do not work. Touch is important in a relationship - if the one party travels regularly to meet the other and regular being at least quarterly they might just have a chance, then the level of commitment also matters...there are too many factors...i might do a post on it soon. All the best with your relationship - i hope you sort it out.

    ooh gal dont feel that way so much. I do hope it works out though they are just counted distant things that work but we hope for the best. I feel it.

    Siasa sipo.

    LDs work for only so long then if there is no hope of reunion it dies quickly. I'm in one myself and someone's patience is running out. The only way to make it work is to cut the distance. If it is not possible, run!

    LDs are tricky. Had one for the longest period and it didn't work. We were committed alright but as aegeus puts it, touch is important. I wish you well.

    Yaani, this post touches me on a very personal level. I have worked and lived long distance for a very long time. Being away from those you care can be a very lonesome experience, I agree the trust is not the issue but a relationship requires contact frequently. I still have faith it can work for you(and me too) eventually.

    First, Raila: I admire the Mzee for his contributions to Kenya and his activism for Kenya’s democracy. That being said I do not believe he is presidential material (at least for me).

    His vision is currently being implemented by the Kibaki government. He might present it in a livelier manner but the fundamentals of his vision are not very different to Vision 2030.

    Klara, as for LDR, I don’t think they can work.

    Physical distance translates to emotional distance and one of the partner will eventually yield to temptations esp during those lonely periods.

    LD relationships are difficult and require a considerable amount of work and effort. They have been known to work but it depends on how much both parties put into it.

     
  • At 8/5/07 09:26, Blogger Unknown

    Ive got mad love for Tinga Tinga and I wish all the best for him in his application for presidency and as for the foota kuna vile there are more surprises coming up.

    For the KQ family and friends my condolences. i have lost a pal myself just heart breaking.

    long distance relationship is hard and I speak from experience, many do not survive and the few that do have gone through trouble and hurdles but if you both trust each other then well and good but you have to ready for whatever comes your way.

    While neither chlesea nor arsenal won, man u WON! swiftly moving on:

    I have never liked Raila, I believe he is a dictator who wants things to go his way, and doesnt like people who disagree with him. CF Ochuodho, Nyongo. But hey...........

    As for LDS, I dont believe they work very well, they are hard work and when you are feeling lonely you cant do anything about it!

     
  • At 8/5/07 18:42, Blogger jm

    I respect your Raila opinion but disagree with it ... politely ...

    I hope stress zitaisha!! It's better 2 be happy with life hata kaa ni ngumu ... all the best with your relationship manenoz ...

    On long distance love, I think out of sight, then out of mind.. :)

    Hello Klara-
    LD relationships seem to work out better if it didn't begin as one. I think that it has a better chance to survive when the people involved have spent time together in the same state or city. Otherwise, it depends on the individual and their level of self control.

    By the way, thanks for your comment but it was erased when I was doing maintenance on the blog. So, I will post again. My apologies. I did read your comments on my email, but they are not on the blog anymore. Peace~

    LD's have a chance if the LD situation has a time frame. If it's open ended as in you don't know when LD will become cheek to cheek, let the drama begin.

    My 2 ng'oches.

    Raila? am yet to research completely about him and if i was eligible to vote, i would reserve my vote till injury time.

    Not that i don`t like the guy but i have some doubt in all African leaders...Its why sometimes i have admiration for Muzeei Robert Mugabe..He only needs to care for the poor citizens before i up grade him to H10....

    Hopefully Raila just in case he goes thru will come up with the goods...

    Now about the KQ...I t was a sad..Really sad. i cannot even find the words to express myself but i had an idea...Klara. why don`t you organise all the bloggers you know and we write our condolences on your blog..i mean we send you comments then you publish it on your blog just to show the East African community and truelly to the family that on bloggers we care and feel so sorry for them...

    But anyway nice post and Eeeeh! surprised its a bit longer!!!

    Nimechelewa kupitia..hope you understand...uhusiano wa mbali una matatizo yake...wengine walivyosema, kazi kubwa yahitajika kutoka pande zote mbili... there are so many factors that play in dear and depending on the level of the relationship...i've been there so all i can say is be brave and open-minded and let destiny take charge.

    1.Raila
    That was an impressive show...mark the word show. Whatever message you give should equal your style and tech (for lack of a better word). I ma not campaigning against Raila...I just think he could have done better if he really expects me to vote for him...but lets wait for December...By the way I still stand for policies and not personalities (both do change but personalities change at a faster rate back and forth).
    2.LDR
    I am not speaking out of experience but they have worked for some people I know but for others they haven't. But the key word in every realtionship whether next door or LD is trust and honesty...ok.. you have to be in love.
    enough said
